Charlton Heston RIP

My tribute to Charlton Heston:

My "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" connection: My maternal grandparents owned a business in St. Helen, Michigan many years ago, and apparently they knew Heston's parents (his biological father drank a lot, apparently). This was before his mother remarried Mr. Heston, and the family moved to Illinois (Heston went to Northwestern, where my brother-in-law went). My mother said she thinks she remembers that Charlton Heston had a friend up there named "Fraser", and speculates that this is where he and his wife got the name for their son.

Charlton Heston was a classy guy indeed. May he rest in peace.
